About Intrepid Travel - Responsible Travel & Small Group Tours Since 1989

Responsible travel is at the heart of all Intrepid Travel adventures. We have a Code of Conduct for operating responsible trips. All of the trips are developed in due consideration of the circumstances of local life. Itineraries are designed to respect the local customs and environment and to benefit the local population. Taking public transport and eating in small-scale locally-owned establishments are simple examples of how we contribute to local economies and conservation.

In most of the destinations we work with local operators, thus putting as much money as possible back into the local economy. The development of cross-cultural understanding is also an important factor. Intrepid groups average just 10 people in size and travelers have the chance to meet local people and learn about their culture first hand. The group leaders explain the company’s values to the travelers and local communities, educating them about sustainable tourism practices.
